Anyone help please: We have an issue where we need to connect some PC's into our DMZ, we have setup a new vLan (51) and connectivity into the device in the DMZ works fine if you connect via an access port on the switch. However we have a need to multihome some PC's as they need access to this software, so for example we need to keep the machine on the main internal network, but then give the machine a second IP address so that when they need to connect to that software, they can do. This works in priniciple and for about 10 minutes once we have set the machine to do this, the machine can connect and ping to both the internal network and the one in the DMZ. After about 10 minutes the Windows machine stops connecting to the network which doesnt have the trunk native vlan set on the switch port. Connectivity still works as if we reset the ip on the Windows 7 machine it will start connecting again, and then fail again within 10 mins (hence we know it isnt a network issue, no port errors and always works). The switchport is configured as a trunk, so Switchport mode trunk Switchport trunk allowed vlan 31,51 Switchport trunk native vlan 51 We cannot add the device in the DMZ onto our network and route to it etc due to it being a 3rd party device, basically not sure why the Windows machine works fine for 10 minutes and then suddenly stops working.

We are currently building a test Moodle platform and have come up on these two lines in the Moodedata instuctions If your server supports ACL it is recommended to set following permissions, for example if your Apache server uses account www-data: # chmod -R +a "www-data allow read,delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /path/to/moodledata If you are planning to execute PHP scripts from the command line you should set the same permissions for the current user: $ sudo chmod -R +a "`whoami` allow read,delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /path/to/moodledata These are on the Linux instructions but they dont look correct for Ubuntu, does anyone know which instructions would be needed for Ubuntu?

After speaking to Sisra support they have provided us with a new version, this is now working fine.

Is anyone using Sisra? The application comes with an excel add in, until recently this was allowing us to go onto online mode, but recently this has stopped, we use Smoothwall. When looking at the filtering nothing is being blocked and both Sisra.com and Sisraanalytics.co.uk are in the white list.

ok, ill take a look, cheers

Just looking for a little Cisco help here. I want to implement a BYOD network on our school network, we have a Smoothwall firewall at the front of the network. What i want to do is have the BYOD traffic on its own subnet 10.116.0.0/16 and route directly to the Smoothwall interface it has on 10.116.0.1 The rest of the network has a default route (multiple subnets via their DG) to 0.0.0.0 10.115.79.253 I have DHCP and DNS working fine to the Smoothwall interface as these are on the same subnet, but traffic is routing via the subnet gateway of 10.116.255.254 when it needs to get to the internet, then onto the 0.0.0.0 10.115.79.253, so traffic from the BYOD network is routing onto the other subnets. What i want traffic on this subnet to do is go directly to the Smoothwall interface setup for BYOD and never go onto the other subnets, So basically what rule to i need to set on the vlan to tell traffic to basically go to 10.116.0.1 instead of going off the subnet. The only way i can think of doing this at the minute is to remove the ip from the vlan but this then allows students to change their IP's on their mobile devices and mess about. Any ideas?

Does anyone know an easy way to print all of a communication log without having to either click on every message and click print, or run a bespoke report. Capita help desk is on form and being useless, just sending me the instruction manual every time i ask even though there is no information about this in there. Thanks in advance

Its not an issue if they are wanting to put everyone on Mono, we use the UD2 for the general office which is mono then have a separate print que for those who need to use the enhanced features. Solves the issue of print level detection.

We have this working so just a couple of things to check, on the printer ensure that the option for colour detection is set to page level, then we have the option in advanced set to convert to grey scale, this stops colour printing. We use the Sharp UD2 PCL6 as it is the driver communication that is how Papercut detects if it is colour or mono, it didnt work on standard detection.

Yep for the minute its Emerge for us, price isnt everything but unfortunatly school budgets arent what they used to be and its 3x the price. However unless the Capita issues are addressed then it isnt a viable option anyway, most important think for me is does it work well as teachers wont use it if its got issues

We have had numerous calls logged with Capita and have also been told the teacher restriction wont be lifted. The service bus isnt an issue but as with emerge it is significantly slower than it being local, this is to be expected but you dont get the choice with the teacher app, It will be next year i think when we will reasses the differences and decide again, Sims is much cheaper but i think a few things need ironing out before we can be confident enough to move.

We have just tried the Sims teacher app and have found a few issues. It has to use a microsoft account, all data has to go via the ms service bus (emerge can go direct making it much faster), it has crashed multiple times when testing (emerge on same system has no issues), the the big on is only a person registered as a teacher in sims personelle can use it, we have all our ta's etc using emerge for behaviour and also have hlta's who register forms, they cannot use the Sims app due to this Sims can do Marksheets but this is a feature update in Emerge in a couple of weeks. Sims is cheaper though by quite a lot as we already host SLG but for the minute after a week with Sims im sticking with Emerge, if Capita sort the issues though this may change next year unless Emerge drop the pricing.

It depends on if you are hosted or not, we are in house so it is capped at £1250 pa, hosted very expensive. Its much cheaper than what we are paying emerge though.

Got this to try today Pros Setup easy Runs direct to Sims Pretty Cons Need MS or Google account Seems a little flaky with a unable to sync error which pops up then works fine for ages Sims server CPU was spiking a lot although has calmed down Anyone else got it to test before purchase and has had good or bad experiences?

Im not managing to get this to work on Air 16, Ive downloaded Air from adobe, extracted with 7-zip, unticked read only on the msi, opened in Orca, then when running the MSI get the Could not access network location (computed) error. Any ideas, ive tried it about 20 times on different exe's from the Adobe site.

No, tend to never update Sims until the last absolute possible moment as problems occur. There was an issue with .net 4.5.1 which wasn't supported for the Summer release, if this has been added this may be causing an issue, SQL SP2 for 2012 (just incase your using this) was also not supported until Autumn.

We have checked AV load, this doesn't appear to scan anything on open, and we have added it to secures and impero exceptions and this also hasn't made any change.

Disk I/o on the clients is also low, we have a 10gb backbone with 1gb to machines, network is running at 5%, pcs all i5's with 3ghz processors and above, all 8gb and x64, (basically all brand new), when looking at the machines nothing spikes on the client end nor the server end which is why we are thinking more a config issue, the machines can open Photoshop in 5 seconds so loading inTouch shouldn't be an issue. My machine which is a Mac pro, with i7 and ssd has exactly the same load time when in the bootcamp windows partition as the client machines.

The server is way more powerful than needed, 32Gb and processor doesn't pass 50% much even with this on. We have checked the AV settings to make sure this isn't killing anything and like I said when it is running it is very fast, it is just the initial load of the message,

Not sure if anyone else has experienced the following, We have recently installed inTouch (Sims) and the initial load of either a message which has been sent to a user or them loading the inTouch message screen is quite slow. Once it has loaded it then works fine, this happens each time you login to Sims fresh, If anyone has had the same issue could you let us know what you though was causing it.

This might not apply but I had a similar issue, what I found was if you signed into the account first using a browser and then signed in sometimes you got a captcha or other login check. Once the account had been logged into and email sent to the connection then went fine from the Ricoh. The photocopier should only need to connect to SMTP, it wont be receiving mail so it shouldn't need to connect to IMAP, Spiceworks have a instruction page here Setting Up SMTP/IMAP in Spiceworks - Gmail Example - Spiceworks Hope this helps, took me ages on the photocopiers.

Just done the same exercise and gone for inTouch, a tad pricier but if your planning on staying for a while then you have lower annual costs. The main reasons were and this should be anyone priority, ease of use for staff and tie in to existing data, data retention (how do you keep your data if you leave a cloud supplier, your tied into all of these not just Sims), price, off site availability (you have a portal for emergencies where Sims cannot be accessed), other We have used another supplier for a number of years now and feel intouch is now comparable enough to move in house, its more secure as it isnt a website and staff are so poor with security, at least i can enforce/managed their access inhouse and only accessable from certain machines in school, its also one less place for all your parental data to reside. We are also about to launch slg from our sharepoint farm and this brings a lot together in Sims. Again expensive at the start but cheap ongoing and keeps everything in one place. Makes management much easier than having a pep on the vle, 3rd party messaging system and no tie in between them, add in discover and then there are some very powerful tools. Apps are also part of slg now and the slg site is tablet complient.

Just incase anyone else gets this, you need to change the sims server name to the ip address in the intouch service settings or add the server to the intranet zone in ie when you get this, it is due to us using windows sso in Sims.
